In December 2020, the EU agreed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55 % in 2030. As buildings use 40 % of energy and produce 36 % of greenhouse gasses in Europe, an earlier targeted review of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is needed to achieve those objectives.

LightingEurope takes this public consultation as an opportunity to share some preliminary remarks and questions for the consideration of the European Commission ahead of the drafting of the proposal for a Regulation. LightingEurope makes general remarks on the following issues in its detailed paper attached to this consultation: 1. Proliferation of information requirements 2.

The European lighting industry strongly supports the proposed changes to Section 3.5 of the Climate Delegated Act, where the subsection Technical screening criteria now explicitly includes controllable luminaires with LED-based light source for indoor lighting or architectural lighting under letter (g).

LightingEurope supports the Commissions overarching goal of reducing unnecessary administrative burdens, but we believe the proposal must be refined to ensure it delivers tangible relief for the EEE sectors without compromising market enforcement. Our detailed views and specific amendment requests are contained in the attached position paper.
